show locals running from the blast. 13 people were initially reported wounded and one of whom later died in hospital. rockets struck the regional administration building during the meeting between officials and the head of the local labor department was wounded while her driver was killed. he of his claimed responsibility for the attack, calling it legitimate alongside the shelling, increasing numbers of civilians are being injured by so called butterfly or pedal landmines, which are intended to maim and dismember people artes roman culture of sent us this report from the city of douglas artillery is not the only danger facing the people here in dunham, ukrainian army have also been using so called pets. old mines, all butterfly mines against the civilians here in de nest. this is what they look like. completely unnoticeable to the naked eye. and if

a person's steps on this mine, it will make that person for life. now i can pick this one up because this is merely an imitation. but you can see what it looks like. it's very small. it, it can fit in the palm of my hand. and once again, it's completely unnoticeable over the last 6 months. more than 60 people have been maimed for life by stepping on to a small petal. mine like this injuries our limbs, people's limbs that have been completely torn off, according to local authorities, there are still thousands of these anti personnel mines around the nest people's republic that have not yet been discovered. right now, they're warding all of the population. to be very, very cautious right now. mentoring the hospital here in done ask the trauma

center where they treat most of these patients. i will speak now to the chief of the local trauma center. whole. tell me exactly what him and his staff are dealing with but a conductor was that people get very serious injuries when they come into contact with these objects. often their feet get torn off. this mind is dangerous because during the explosion, the secondary damage, an element is asphalt or soil. these elements, in fact, the skin and sub thermal muscles should never picked them up. you should immediately called the emergency services. this mine is designed to creep on people not to kill them, and this is much more frightening. ukrainian nationalists continue shelling of the city of the next not only with heavy artillery butts with these so called betel mines as well. the weather here, is it changing right now as well?

that means we're about to get a lot of mud, a lot of snow. that means that these are tiny mines will be completely unnoticeable. and that also means that doctors at this, from a sensor will have a lot more work from on call for of r t done as people's republic. hungry is prime minister has compared you anti russia sanctions to energy midgets imposing sanctions on an energy giant. that's after the european parliament stated that the country can't be considered a quote, full democracy are to contributor rachel marston takes us through the details. european leaders haven't stopped talking about how much they want ukraine in the u . and how keith is virtually the embodiment of european values. just this week, you commission president ursula vander line said during his swing through cave, that quote, the essential process is well on track. it's impressive to see the speed, the determination, the preciseness with which you are progressing. she also said that ukraine needs

quote more business, more income through the you were talking here about the country recently considered to be the 2nd most corrupt in europe and ranked 122nd out of a 180 countries on transparency internationals, corruption index on par with zambia, galvan and mexico. now compared that posture with the e parliament's motion approved this week in a 433 to 123 vote. adopting a report concluding that hungary has become a quote electoral autocracy. meaning that european values and democracy were under systemic threat in that country. we deeply regret that the lack of decisive action on the part of the european union has contributed to the breakdown of democracy and the rule of law and fundamental rights and hungary making the country a hybrid regime of electoral autocracy, hungary as not a democracy, it was more urgent than ever for the parliament to take the stance, considering the alarming rate at which the rule of law is backsliding and hungary,

the report sites, a range of issues from academic and religious freedom to minority rights, but also judicial and electoral independence. the report could have literally been written about ukraine, yet the you and it would have been flattering yet the you desperately wants to shoehorn ukraine into the you. it comes at a high cost, but our freedom, the international peace order and democracy is priceless. you now can see that it could come to an end with victory for freedom and democracy. ukraine's problems haven't gone unnoticed, including by western mainstream media and human rights organizations like amnesty international members of ukrainian forces and paramilitaries, also subjected detainees to torture and other ill treatment and used detain civilians as pawns for prisoner exchanges between the war insides. credible allegations emerged of torture and other egregious abuses by ukraine's so called volunteer battalions, ada, and his off. last year he had his main political opponent, arrested,

and his assets seized by the state. at the same time's lensky shut down 3 of ukraine's most popular television networks, channels that not coincidentally, had criticized him. the e wants ukraine so badly that it has created a new european political community set to meet for the 1st time on october. first, kind of a kitty table of countries that aspire to e u membership. so if you crane and hungry face, the exact same criticisms except ukraine's are far worse with ukraine. of course, being worse ranked for its problems than hungry, which already passed the sniff tasks. well enough to get into the e in the 1st place. then why is the block drooling over ukraine while spanking hungry? a can't have anything to do with the fact that hungarian prime minister, victor, or bon is against sanctioning russia. and his forged ahead with new russian energy deals while the block cuts off its own supply can it? it sees the brussels definition of democracy and european values,

however lofty they are, are synonymous with adhering to and promoting this global as to jetta. and when that particular box is techs, everything else apparently takes a backseat. the head of nato's military committee has admitted that the alliance began planning to expand near russian borders several years ago. the statement comes after nato leaders agreed on a significant build up of forces on its eastern flank by 2020 to $3.00 due to the ukrainian conflict. we're talking about the biggest, over whole of our military structures. since 1949. the planning for that started several years ago, but now we're implementing it. the block plans to increase the number of high alert forces on its eastern flight to more than 300000 in the near future. and nato countries have pledged to increase defense spending. that despite russians, a russian demands that the block stop expanding to the east and key of be excluded

from the alliance. while ukraine is not a member of nato, the alliance has been a key player and key evs ongoing conflict with russia. michael maloof is a former senior security policy analyst for the u. s. secretary of defense. he believes it was washington's decision to break the principle of nato non expansion towards russia. it's actually the united states was the one who was leading this effort, going back to the clinton administration to go against an agreement that bill clinton gave to, to, to, to russia. that it would not seek to expand. but all the while it was. and now we're seeing that nato is looking for a new agenda. and we saw just very recently in their closing statements, but they're now and not only including the arctic, but also china as something to keep an eye on. and russia has, had,

had made it clear this latest last december, in, in statements to the united states, united states, i don't think the europeans would have done what they, what has now occurred. if it weren't for the united states and the neo cons with neoconservatives within the u. s. government pushing pushing, pushing this agenda and try to take advantage of it. probably thinking that nothing whatever that russia would never do. what ultimately happens. meanwhile, protestors have gathered in paris to call for the resignation of the french president and an end to sanctions against russia that have seen you energy prices skyrocket. weed by a poll that showed support for a sanction declining for demonstration, calling for my firms removal. and for france to lease both european union and anita against sanctions and also against any rationing which is completely useless. and then from sanctions from the war wage findings, nato has been waging various walls for decades,

and i have long wanted us to leave it so that we can find peace. sanction these are connected to the loss of our energy complex, our energy supply service, which has been destroyed by the you. we're against rationing in believing nato and leaving you. we are simply serving a permanent war lavonne day. and by the way, one that we want to look for ways to reduce attention may set the not. first of all, this is a demonstration for peace in ukraine in europe. and it is also a demonstration for a patriotic cause. we can patriots are of, of all, for throwing off the yoke of the european union and nato. now they are talking about inflation associated with the energy crisis. reduction of heating to 1900 degrees and other measures are the consequences of sanctions that our government has introduced. that initially we were against the sanctions. of course we now are also against the consequences of sanctions during the shanghai cooperation organization summit and news pakistan. this week of lat, amir putin blamed western powers for manipulating ukraine to fight against russia.

in the petition. for decades, the west has been cultivating an idea of destroying the soviet union and then russia. they've always wanted to see our country disintegrated. now they've started using ukraine to achieve that goal. this week, a lot of mere putting met with the leaders of china. iran, india, pakistan, and turkey. moscow agreed to sell russia natural gas to ankara with 25 percent of the payments to be to be made in roubles. put in a slammed the e u saying the block lifted sanctions on russian fertilizer exports only to ignore the needs of developing countries. he also called russian indian relations, a particularly privileged strategic partnership with more key points from the summit. here's where you have an option on the 2022 c o summit. the biggest in the shanghai corporation organization is more than 20 year history has been called a historic 1. 14 world leader is from the origin region have gathered here, and it was becky's tons, summer cons to discuss

a new world order that they now witness emerging as the west seems to scatter, to lose its influence and trust globally. the voice of non western centric alliances like the seo is louder than average. the food crisis is among the key problems addressed during the summer and summer can global supply chains. with the pandemic and the ukraine crisis of course, disruptions in global supply chains. as a result, the entire world is facing an unprecedented food and energy crisis. the s c o must take effort to develop reliable, resilient, and diversify supply chains in our region. for this better connectivity is no doubt needed, but at the same time, it is also important that we give each other full transit rights. not only asi are countries, as some of the world's largest grain producers and exporters have addressed the problem. let's say they're ready to offer a solution ketchel, but muted russia's increasing great exports world markets. this era will be

30000000 tons. next year we will increase it to $50000000.00 tons. 90 percent of our food goes to the markets of asia, africa, and latin america. we know how important fertilizes are for solving the food shortage. the day before yesterday, i also informed mr. gutierrez about the 300000 tons of russian fertilizers piled up in e. you see ports, we are ready to transfer that free of charge to developing countries. i would like to ask you and secretariat to influence the european commissions decision, not in words, but in deeds to demand from their colleagues in the european commission that they lift these obviously discriminatory restrictions on developing countries and provide access for russian fertilizers to those markets. as well in the summits final document, the ecier declares economic sanctions if not imposed by the un security council are incompatible with the principles of international law. who team has denounced the restrictions as economic selfishness. yet keeping it at the striking example of

this selfishness is european commission's decision to lift sanctions on russian fertilizers. it turns out that only they can buy our fertilizers. and what about the world's poorest countries sewer? although often referred to as an anti west ally, the assay all claims to not to be against any other country, a block. but that doesn't mean it is without enemies. should the jewish and as the world is entering a new turbulent phase, we must cross the trends of the times of strength and solidarity and co operation and contribute to building a closer s c o community. with a common future, we must support each other to ensure security and development, prevent external forces from inciting color revolutions and jointly opposed interference in the internal affairs of other countries. under any pretext. iran is getting ready to become the 9 member states non prove it. shares, yes, your family's values are you out here in recent years, economic and political. multilateralism has been syria threatened,

and the american government is trying to impulse its internal demands and laws on the nation community and controversy sovereignty and independence with all its pulling and has to put the extensive use of completion on its agenda. oddly, american unilateralism seeks to hold countries back from the independent path of development. today they had high corporation organizations unites 20 countries with a combined population of 3 and a half 1000000000 people that has half of the world. with 5 more states, including 3 arab countries. now announce to be soon joining the seo the alliance is fortunate had to become global superpower. that simply cannot be ignored. race notion r t from someone account, it was a becky song. india has banned the export of broken rice, which is often used to make starch and rice flour in an effort to protect its domestic food market. however, it's feared the move will likely drive up the price of ordinary rice on international markets with all the details. here's our keys, runjun sharma,

it's already been the export to wheat, and now the indian government has put a blanket ban on exports of broken rice. additionally, at 20 percent duty is also being placed on the export of all non boss might be mal rice barring to premier, were i tease the sol, comes into effect after the 15th of september. when this no deviation came on, if evening, lot of consignments were already either emerald ordered under preparation, and they were ready to move to the ports. we estimate that it on the 5 to 7 left answer would have been under this kind of situation. so it's a huge damage because they will all get stuck and now they have to return the concerns of back to the government, blamed and abnormal increase in exports and said if small was to control domestic food inflation in the bandits exports because it had less talk or wheat and rice

following an unexpected crop failure. moreover, rice producing states of india such as been job arianna b har, an order for dish sol, week monsoon this year and that's disrupted and destroyed. crop yields. india exports rise to more than $150.00 countries and broken rise to all was $75.00. as for experts, the sudden halt in overseas shipments could mean an upward trend in food prices disrupting the global supply chain. the move by india, which accounts for 40 percent of the global rise trade is expected to father put pressure on countries that are already struggling with soaring food inflation and worsening food crisis. due to extreme weather patterns, heat ways, and the conflict in ukraine, hulu. girl at times from cali to a 2020 india was the only country richer maintained its exports,

did not rest. if you look at piling this 60 the export for something vietnam restricted. so what happened into them is that the whole world started looking at india for someplace, this fight covey. i would exclude serviced. so that records you know, going to be then the then the food security across the world. we'll get didn't know rocha rice, the eas, essentially, fragments arise green broken into feel during transportation drying or milling. i know it's not defective or less nutritious. in fact, it's very popular in some of south asian countries. rook and rice and india as used primarily for ethanol production and as animals for door. and of course, for human consumption in several countries. india has been the cheapest supply of rise in the world by a big margin which is shielded several african countries. but all that aside,

the priority for new delhi for now is to boost domestic a well ability region sharma, r t arianna strong countries dominate. we countries that hasn't changed. that's according to american t. v. anchor tucker carlson, who added that countries like india have failed to build on british colonial rule. naturally, those comments sparked a public outcry. me today india is far more powerful than the nation that once ruled it. and yet after 75 years of independence has that country produced a single building as beautiful as a bombay train station that the british colonial is built. know, sadly it has not, not one with me.

i think twitter ought to have an option for something to press when you can't respond without losing your cool. funny, when i traveled all over india, the most stunning buildings i saw weren't built by the british, but by indians themselves. colonialism wrecked india. it didn't build it. so what's your point? you can invade any country as long as you could build a nice and beautiful station for the country. oh. over 200 armenian and other by johnny troops died in classes this week, according to new figures from both countries. that's after the deadliest border incident between bach, who in yerevan since the 2020 conflict armenia and are armenia says also by johnny
